title: Primary paratesticular yolk sac tumor: A case report and review of literature.
abstract: Paratesticular germ cell tumors are extremely rare. A 12-month-old boy with yolk sac tumor involving only the paratesticular tissue is reported. Pre-operatively raised alpha fetoprotein levels fell to normal levels after high inguinal orchiectomy. This appears to be the youngest and only the 3(rd) case reported in the English literature.
